About Me

Hello Metal Heads.
How are you doing, and thanks for dropping by and feel free to add me as a friend. This site has lots of my music FREE for you to listen to, and many other extras such as free pictures/reviews/history of record releases and much much more. I want the site to be as Funky, cool and interesting as possible and hope you agree, and of course I want to give you plenty of information and freebies etc, so I hope you like what you see here and you are always welcome here.
As I am sure everyone knows I started out as the singer and front man of Iron Maiden, and I made what many consider to be 2 of the all time classic metal albums with Maiden before life and music took me elsewhere. We formed Maiden in 1976, and I left in 1982 shortly after recording the second Maiden classic album entitled Killers.
Since that time, I have performed solo and worked with various backing bands including Killers & Battlezone, and I toured constantly throughout the world and have achied great success over the years. My life has always been a mad rollercoaster, but I wouldn't change a thing.
"If it was an offer, I'd take it. A line of coke, a few pills, a large drink, - yep, ta very much, mate." It's a familiar story, but let's face it - we just can't get enough of reading about rock stars indulging in the kind of debauchery we can only dream of. Paul Di'anno has done it all and lived to tell the tale in this thoroughly entertaining - and completely obscene - account of his life so far. Although the author is most famous for his time in Iron Maiden, that period of Di'anno's crazy f**ked-up life actually only takes up the first quarter of this book; unbelievably the tales from his later bands, Battlezone and Killers, are even more extreme. There's crime, guns, outrageous shag-fests and enough narcotic-related escapades to put even Motley Crue to shame. If you want sex, drugs and heavy metal, then you've come to the right place. Just don't try any of this at home.
